Increase the dynamic range of your photographs
If you have ever shot a high contrast scene, you probably know the problem blown
out highlights and loss of contrast in shadows. Photomatix offers two ways
to solve this problem:
· Exposure Blending: Merge differently exposed photographs into one image with
increased dynamic range.
· Tone Mapping: Reveal highlights and shadows details in an HDR image created
from multiple exposures. The tone mapped image is ready for printing while
showing the complete dynamic range captured.
Photomatix Pro 3.2 - licensing costs US$99
Standalone application. Merges differently exposed photos into one image with
details in both highlights and shadows:
› HDR images creation and Tone Mapping
› Exposure fusion
› Automatic alignment of hand-held photos
› Options for reduction of ghosting, noise and chromatic aberrations in HDR images
› Automation with powerful Batch Processing
› Lightroom plugin

• Tone Mapping plug-in
The Tone Mapping plug-in processes High Dynamic Range images in order to reveal
their details in highlights and shadows.
The resulting image can then be converted into an 8-bit or 16-bit file that shows
the whole dynamic range available in the original HDR image. Because the tonal
range has been compressed while maintaining local contrast, the tone mapped image
is ready for display on standard monitors and prints.
The Tone Mapping plug-in can also be applied to a 16-bit image resulting
from RAW conversion.

System Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program:
· 250 MB of RAM (more recommended, the more the better)
· 500 MB of available hard-disk space (more recommended)
· 1,024x768 or greater monitor resolution
· Color monitor with 16-bit color or greater video card
Tone Mapping Plug-In:
· The 32-bit edition of the Plug-In is compatible with Photoshop CS2, CS3 and CS4.
It also works with Photoshop CS, Photoshop 7.0 and Photoshop Elements 4.0 and 5.0.
However, it will be limited to images in 16 bits/channel in those cases, as only
Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4 supports HDR images.
· The 64-bit edition of the Plug-In can only be installed on a 64-bit OS and requires
the 64-bit edition of Photoshop CS4.
